Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Sapindus mukorossi dehulling technology. Specifically, it relates to a Sapindus mukorossi dehulling, sorting, and screening device and method. Background Technology

[0002] As a plant that integrates economic tree species, greening tree species and timber tree species, the trunk, pulp, kernel, pit and young leaves of Sapindus mukorossi have different uses and are widely used in chemical, industrial and building materials fields. Among them, Sapindus mukorossi seeds can be used to refine diesel, and the outer skin of the seeds can be used to produce detergents and cosmetics.

[0003] Sapindus mukorossi seeds have high utilization value, but they are difficult to remove from their shells. Furthermore, the overall shape of the Sapindus mukorossi seed makes it difficult to handle stably during manual shelling, and it is also easy to damage the seed during the process. This results in high intensity and low efficiency for manual shelling. Therefore, there is a need for a device that can quickly separate the seeds and outer skin of Sapindus mukorossi seeds to achieve automated shelling and improve the utilization efficiency of each part. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a Sapindus mukorossi shelling and sorting device and method that can automatically screen, complete shelling, and collect the shell and seeds separately after shelling.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A soapberry dehulling and sorting device includes an arrangement funnel, a removal chamber at the lower end of the arrangement funnel, multiple obliquely arranged guide plates in the removal chamber, a size sorting component connected to the lower end of the removal chamber, an arc-shaped sieve plate in the size sorting component, a first discharge port at the left and right ends of the lower end face of the size sorting component, a conveying and cutting component connected to the lower end of each first discharge port, a core removal component at the discharge part of the conveying and cutting component, the conveying and cutting component including an arc-shaped guard plate, a conveying shaft rotatably connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped guard plate, arc-shaped grooves respectively provided on the conveying shaft and the arc-shaped guard plate, a cutting shaft rotatably connected to the side of the arc-shaped guard plate, multiple cutting blades fixedly connected to the cutting shaft, each cutting blade corresponding to an arc-shaped groove, the core removal component including an arc-shaped discharge support, a second discharge port at the lower end of the arc-shaped discharge support, a core removal shaft rotatably connected to the side of the arc-shaped discharge support, multiple pressing plates evenly distributed circumferentially on the core removal shaft corresponding to the positions of each arc-shaped groove, which cooperate with the second discharge port.

[0007] A method for classifying and screening Sapindus mukorossi seeds after shelling includes the following steps: Step 1, Arranging: Sapindus mukorossi seeds that need to be shelled are introduced into a long strip funnel, so that the vertically arranged Sapindus mukorossi seeds are discharged from the lower end of the long strip funnel and conveyed downwards;

[0008] Step 2, impurity removal: Multiple sets of downward-sloping guide plates are set below the long strip funnel. Slits are opened on the guide plates. As the arranged soapberries pass through the guide plates, surface impurities and carried residues are removed.

[0009] Step 3: Sorting. After removing impurities, the soapberries are conveyed according to size through an arc-shaped screen. Larger soapberries are guided through the screen and output, while smaller soapberries fall through the mesh of the screen and are output.

[0010] Step 4: Conveying and cutting seams. The screened Sapindus mukorossi seeds are conveyed through the gap between the conveyor shaft and the arc plate. There is a corresponding conveying channel between the conveyor shaft and the arc plate. The Sapindus mukorossi seeds pass through the conveying channel. There is a cutting wheel on the outside of the arc plate, so that the conveyed Sapindus mukorossi seeds are cut with seams of a certain depth by the cutting wheel.

[0011] Step 5: Shelling. An upward-opening bracket is located at the discharge section of the conveying component. The bracket has an opening at its lower end. After the soapberry seeds are discharged from the conveying component, they pass over the bracket. A pressing roller is rotatably connected to the side of the bracket. The pressing roller has pressing plates corresponding to the openings on the bracket. As the pressing plates rotate, they press the soapberry seeds downwards. Because the sides of the soapberry seeds are supported by the openings, the seeds open along the gaps during pressing. The seeds fall downwards, while the shells are guided by the bracket and fall obliquely outwards, thus completing the shelling process.

[0012] The technical solution of the present invention achieves the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] 1. The soapberries are transported and shelled in an orderly manner, and impurities are removed during the transport process, resulting in a cleaner and more complete finished product;

[0014] 2. During the transportation process, each soapberry seed is opened individually to avoid missing any and causing them to be unable to shed their shells;

[0015] 3. Before conveying, the materials are arranged and conveyed downwards as a whole to avoid accumulation and blockage during the conveying process;

[0016] 4. During the shelling process, the seeds and outer skin are automatically guided separately to avoid mixing and requiring subsequent separation. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As the seeds of Sapindus mukorossi are spherical, it is difficult to completely separate the seeds and outer skin during the shelling process. In addition, because Sapindus mukorossi seeds are unevenly dried, sun-drying them first not only increases the difficulty of the process, but also makes the outer skin of the dried seeds harder and more difficult to separate. If a tumbling and pressing method is used for shelling, the seeds will not only break but also still be unable to be separated, and the outer shell will be relatively broken, resulting in poor appearance.

[0029] In this embodiment, the soapberries are fed into a funnel. The upper end of the funnel has a rectangular opening arranged vertically, the middle part has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the lower end has a long strip structure arranged vertically. This allows the soapberries to be output vertically in rows downwards. This not only prevents the soapberries from piling up during subsequent processing, but also ensures that the quantity processed by subsequent working parts is more uniform, thus reducing the risk of damage to subsequent equipment and making the conveying process smoother.

[0030] At the lower end of the funnel is a cleaning chamber for removing dust and residue carried on the soapberry fruit. The cleaning chamber includes a longitudinally arranged rectangular cleaning shell 16. Guide plates 3, arranged in a staggered pattern and extending downwards, are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the cleaning shell 16. Each guide plate 3 has a cleaning slit. As the soapberry fruit falls downwards from the top of the cleaning shell 16, it is guided by the guide plates 3 and simultaneously impacts them. During this process, dust and residue on the soapberry fruit fall downwards through the cleaning slits. To prevent the fallen residue from re-contacting the soapberry surface, the lower part of each guide plate 3... Each end is fixedly connected to an obliquely arranged collection plate 17. One end of each collection plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the impurity removal shell 16, and the other end extends obliquely upward and connects to the protruding end of the corresponding guide plate 3, so that the residue is output to the outside through the collection plate 17. An impurity removal outlet is provided on the side of the impurity removal shell corresponding to the position of the collection plate 17. An impurity removal discharge pipe 18 is provided outside the impurity removal outlet. The residue leaves the impurity removal shell 16 from the impurity removal discharge outlet. An obliquely arranged impurity removal collection channel 19 is provided outside the impurity removal shell 16 and below the impurity removal discharge outlet. The residue will be output to the outside after falling into the impurity removal collection channel 19.

[0031] After impurity removal, the soapberries are output downwards from the lower end of the impurity removal housing 16. A size sorting component 4 is connected to the lower end of the impurity removal housing 16. The size sorting component 4 includes a sorting shell 20. The upper end of the sorting shell 20 has a feed inlet, and the lower end has first discharge outlets 6 on the left and right sides respectively. An arc-shaped sieve plate 5 is fixedly connected inside the sorting shell 20. The upper end of the sieve plate 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the feed inlet, and the sieve plate 5 covers one of the first discharge outlets 6, with the lower end of the sieve plate 5 connected to the side of the other first discharge outlet 6. A sieving opening is provided on the sieve plate 5, so that all soapberries falling downwards from the feed inlet will contact the surface of the sieve plate 5. Soapberries larger than the sieving opening will be guided by the sieve plate 5 into a... The first discharge port 6 is used, and soapberries smaller than the sieve opening will pass through the sieve opening. The soapberries that pass through the sieve opening will enter the first discharge port 6 covered by the sieve plate 5, thus completing the sorting of soapberries according to size. This allows for more accurate shelling in subsequent operations. An opening adjustment plate 21 is longitudinally slidably connected to the outside of the sieve plate 5. The opening adjustment plate 21 is in contact with the sieve plate 5, and the opening adjustment plate 21 has a sieve opening corresponding to the sieve opening. By longitudinally sliding the adjustment plate between the sieve plate and the sieve plate 5, the adjustment plate can block part of the sieve opening, thereby adjusting the width of the sieve opening to accommodate soapberries of different diameters from different batches.

[0032] Different conveying and cutting components are connected to the lower ends of different first discharge ports 6. Each conveying and cutting component includes a first arc-shaped guard plate 22 with its opening facing upwards, and a second arc-shaped guard plate 23 arranged tangentially and opening downwards on the outer side of the first arc-shaped guard plate 22. The tangential portions of the inner sides of the first arc-shaped guard plate 22 and the second arc-shaped guard plate 23 are connected. A conveying shaft 8 is coaxially rotatably connected to both the first arc-shaped guard plate 22 and the second arc-shaped guard plate 23. Multiple arc-shaped grooves 9 are distributed axially on the conveying shaft 8, and corresponding arc-shaped grooves 9 are formed on the first arc-shaped guard plate 22 and the second arc-shaped guard plate 23, creating a conveying channel between the arc-shaped grooves 9 on the conveying shaft 8 and the arc-shaped grooves 9 on the arc-shaped guard plate 7. The soapberries being transported can only be output through the transport channel, thus arranging them during the transport process. Longitudinal cutting shafts 10 are rotatably connected to the outer side of the lower end face of the first arc-shaped guard plate 22 and the outer side of the upper end face of the second arc-shaped guard plate 23, respectively. Multiple cutting blades 11 are longitudinally arranged on the cutting shafts 10, and each cutting blade 11 corresponds to the arc-shaped groove 9. At the same time, each cutting blade 11 extends into the arc-shaped groove 9 to a certain depth. In this way, when the soapberries pass through, they will cut a gap of a certain depth in the soapberries. Since the transport channel limits the transport path of the soapberries, the cut gaps will be in the same plane, making it easier for the soapberries to shed their shells after output.

[0033] The two conveying and cutting components differ in the diameter of the arc-shaped groove 9, which allows for more stable conveying of soapberries of the corresponding size during the conveying process and makes it easier to control the cutting depth during the cutting process.

[0034] After the soapberry seeds are output through the conveying and cutting device, a certain depth of cutting slits exists on the surface of the soapberry seeds. The output port is located on the outer side of the second arc-shaped guard plate 23. At the corresponding position of the output port, an arc-shaped discharge tray 12 that cooperates with the arc-shaped groove 9 is provided. The arc-shaped discharge tray 12 is tangent to and correspondingly arranged with the arc-shaped groove, ensuring that the soapberry seeds output from each arc-shaped channel pass through the upper end of the arc-shaped discharge tray 12. The opening of the arc-shaped discharge tray 12 faces outwards at an angle upwards. A second discharge port 13 with an outward opening is opened at the lower end of the arc-shaped discharge tray 12. A core-removing shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the arc-shaped discharge tray 12. Multiple sets of pressing plates 15 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the core-removing shaft 14. The width of the pressing plates 15 is smaller than the width of the second discharge port 13. The soapberry seeds output through the arc-shaped groove 9 will pass through... The arc-shaped discharge tray 12 supports both ends of the soapberry seed. During the rotation of the kernel removal shaft 14, the pressing plate 15 moves downward from above the second discharge port 13. The pressing plate 15 presses the middle of the soapberry seed and presses the seeds downward. A gap is opened in the middle of the soapberry seed. At the same time, the two ends of the soapberry seed are supported by the arc-shaped discharge tray 12. Therefore, when the pressing plate 15 presses, the soapberry seed is opened along the gap and the seeds are pressed downward. The outer skin of the soapberry seed is peeled off. After the pressing plate 15 passes, the seeds of the soapberry seed will fall downward through the second discharge port 13. The outer skin will fall downward at the same time due to the guidance of the arc-shaped discharge tray 12. In this way, the seeds and outer skin of the soapberry seed will fall into different areas after shelling.

[0035] A diagonally arranged separation plate 24 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the arc-shaped discharge tray 12. The separation plate 24 is used to separate the seeds and epidermis of Sapindus mukorossi, so as to avoid the two from being mixed together in large quantities, which would make subsequent separation more troublesome. Thus, the separated Sapindus mukorossi and epidermis are processed separately, which completes the work of collecting the Sapindus mukorossi separately after the shelling operation.

[0036] A method for classifying and screening Sapindus mukorossi seeds after shelling includes the following steps: Step 1, Arranging: Sapindus mukorossi seeds that need to be shelled are introduced into a long strip funnel, so that the vertically arranged Sapindus mukorossi seeds are discharged from the lower end of the long strip funnel and conveyed downwards;

[0037] Step 2, impurity removal: Multiple sets of downward-sloping guide plates are set below the long strip funnel. Slits are opened on the guide plates. As the arranged soapberries pass through the guide plates, surface impurities and carried residues are removed.

[0038] Step 3: Sorting. After impurity removal, the soapberries are conveyed according to size through an arc-shaped screen. Larger soapberries are guided through the screen and output, while smaller soapberries fall through the mesh of the screen.

[0039] Then output the result;

[0040] Step 4: Conveying and cutting seams. The screened Sapindus mukorossi seeds are conveyed through the gap between the conveyor shaft and the arc plate. There is a corresponding conveying channel between the conveyor shaft and the arc plate. The Sapindus mukorossi seeds pass through the conveying channel. There is a cutting wheel on the outside of the arc plate, so that the conveyed Sapindus mukorossi seeds are cut with seams of a certain depth by the cutting wheel.

[0041] Step 5: Shelling. An upward-opening bracket is located at the discharge section of the conveying component. The bracket has an opening at its lower end. After the soapberry seeds are discharged from the conveying component, they pass over the bracket. A pressing roller is rotatably connected to the side of the bracket. The pressing roller has pressing plates corresponding to the openings on the bracket. As the pressing plates rotate, they press the soapberry seeds downwards. Because the sides of the soapberry seeds are supported by the openings, the seeds open along the gaps during pressing. The seeds fall downwards, while the shells are guided by the bracket and fall obliquely outwards, thus completing the shelling process.

[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the claims of this patent application.
